Powered by the same brawny injected triple engine which hums inside the Sprint ST and Speed Triple, the Sprint RS delivers well above 100 hp and comes with plenty of torque for great cornering and city slicing nerve.
And if you feel that you could share the sizzling riding experience with a passenger, the rear cowl can be easily removed, too.
2002 Triumph Sprint RS

Powered by the same mill which gets the Speed Triple going, the Sprint RS sports a half-fairing design which mixes weather protection and aggressive looks.
New for 2001 is the second-generation EFI engine with a closed loop injection system and the Acidic Yellow livery.
